Biography:
The Living End formed in 1994 after lead singer/guitarist Chris Cheney and bassist Scott Owen were introduced to each other by their older sisters at Wheelers Hill Secondary College in Melbourne, Australia. Cheney, obsessed with 80s rockabilly group the Stray Cats, convinced Owen to learn the double bass instead of the piano and they started playing gigs under the name Runaway Boys after the title of a Stray Cats song. The group went through a succession of drummers before settling on Joe Piripitzi.

Lyrics
V1:
rotten the core
breakin' down the door
sick of all the laws
and we want more
everyone's so pretty
livin' in the city
drownin' in their pity
and we want more
pre CH:
did you forget about us
did you forget about trust
Out with the old
and in with the new
CH:
you haven't earned it (you haven't earned it)
you don't deserve it (you don't deserve it)
(dadadada da dada
dada da dadadadaaaa)
every dog has it's day
(dadadada da dada
dada da dadadadaaaa)
C#m C#m 1 1
so what are you gonna do when they take it away from you
interlude (F# F# F# F# F# F#
F# on 1 guitar)
V2:
makin' up the rules
foolin' all the fools
like you got nothin' to lose
and we want more
you only get out what you put in
you want your supper but you don't want sin
you live in a lie, you know it's not right
we want more
